President Trump’s first speech to a joint session of Congress had a lot that angered Democrats, but there was at least one powerful moment that left everyone stunned, including his critics.
President Trump recognized the sacrifice of Carryn Owens, the widow of the Navy SEAL that was killed during (the Yemen raid) weeks into his presidency. The applause was the longest of the entire night, and thundered through the chamber.
“We are joined tonight by Carryn Owens,” Trump said, “the widow of U.S. Navy Special Operator Senior Chief William Ryan Owens. Ryan died as he lived a warrior and a hero, battling against terrorism and securing our nation.”
The Congress applauded for a long time in her honor.
“I just spoke to our great General Mattis just now,” Trumpm continued, “who reconfirmed that, and I quote, ‘Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemy.’ Ryan’s legacy is etched into eternity.”

Yeah, I found out it’s Speier.
Thanks for finding that for us
Isn’t she the one responsible for getting the 3 Muslim brothers from Pakistan as the Democrat IT team? I need to check the latest George Webb video Day 128...I do think that is her.
Thumbs down all for show, they are so pleased with themselves they can’t contain their glee. (How old are they, fourteen?)
Those weren’t even real physicians, if I recall correctly. They were health administrators with business degrees.
Like President Trump did last evening
Someone here counted fifteen different points Trump hit upon (hammered, could be more like it) in his speech to Congress.
He took to "them" what we've all been wanting be taken to them, for "them" to focus upon rather than spending congressional time and effort on stupid [blank--can't say those words here] like transgender bathroom privileges, ala' Bronco 'Bammy and the DNC.
In no uncertain terms President Trump went through that list of serious challenges and problems, providing sufficient disclaimer for inclusion of the concept that these challenges, and the solutions which must be brought to bear in response to those challenges are not one-dimensional, and it is up to Congress to act with the President.
He signaled to them -- "here is where I want to go" asking of them, figuratively speaking, "walk beside us, even lead us (in these things)" there acknowledging the will of the electorate that put himself and most Republican members of House and Senate in office, doing so while acknowledging also the Democrats, calling upon them to also work towards adequately addressing the same problems and challenges in order to reach the same goals.
That's how one co-exists with those people. Take the narrative back . (Trump did). Take the initiative. Trump did that. Be resolute, though not entirely unwilling to be open to considering measure of compromise. Force them to deal with us, on our terms -- not theirs.
Winning. So far it's been what Trump has done. It's up to Congress now to do the hard work of figuring things out, and then following through. They do that, and this President, it does appear, will do everything recognized in his own power to do to help them.
It's nice to have the adults in charge again, isn't it?
Reps. Judy Chu and Jackie Speier, both from California.

Actually, some of them were real physicians.
Unfortunately I know some of them. sigh
Well, not much chance of getting them replaced by a republican but maybe they could get a primary challenge by someone with more than two brain cells.
Weren’t there also green buttons - what were those about?
How does one co-exist with liberals? Impossible. They are mean-spirited and satanic. Why would you?
What does that mean? That Democrats hate middle class Americans? Maybe so....
Thanks! I knew they were stupid, just wasn’t sure exactly how stupid.
I thought only a couple of them were physicians. I wondered if they were real why they didn’t wear their own lab coats with their names and titles embroidered on them. When I used to work with doctors, they wore their customized white coats as a point of pride and accomplishment. Did Obama instruct them that he would provide blank ones for them?
she is a mutt
